Art-2-Part: more profitable with a smoother workflow
Complex parts, small batches, short lead times and tight margins continue to challenge the profitability of sheet metal workshops. While throughput can be increased using faster and more flexible machines equipped with automation features, an important cost contributor is often overlooked: checking your input drawings, preparing the job programs and communicating with your order administration desk. CAD drawings need to be imported, analyzed and unfolded. Material needs to be ordered. CAM programs need to be created and bundled or nested in a smart way. And all of this within a short period of time!
